How to prompt Alfred
Turn intent into Frames using Canvas, context, and strict schemas.
Canvas fundamentals
- Open the Canvas at
/organizations/[slug]/canvas. - Left side: Alfred chat and command bar (Cmd/Ctrl + K).
- Right side: live Frame render (Pitch Deck, Project Plan, Email, Chart, Dashboard Summary).
Prompt patterns
- Start with intent + constraints: “Create a 6-slide pitch deck for Planar OS, highlight Canvas, keep it concise.”
- Add context (“Truths”) to steer tone and facts. Paste brand voice, positioning, or limits.
- Ask for variants: “Give 2 options for the CTA slide.”
- Chain edits: “Adjust slide 3 to focus on time savings, not cost.”
Frames and schemas
- Alfred returns JSON that matches Zod schemas in
@workspace/ai. - The renderer reads
frame.typeto select the component. - Supported types:
pitch_deck,project_plan,email,chart,dashboard_summary.
Using your knowledge base
- Save "Truths" in Canvas (brand guidelines, constraints, prior decisions).
- Alfred prioritizes these when generating plans and content.
- Keep truths small and specific; split long docs into themed snippets.
Billing and usage
- Generations and tokens are metered per organization.
- Usage is recorded per day and can be forwarded to Stripe metered billing.
Quick prompts to try
- “Create a 5-slide pitch deck positioning Planar OS as an intent-to-frame OS.”
- “Draft a 4-week project plan to ship Canvas, include risks and owners.”
- “Write a concise launch email to beta users about the new Canvas.”
